We take a risky trip, taking our narrowboat across the dangerous River Mersey on an iconic journey to Liverpool. We're joined by Fran & Rich from ‪@FloatingOurBoat‬ as we leave our mooring at Sutton Weaver to the end of the Weaver Navigation and through Marsh Lock on to the Manchester Ship Canal. We navigate through Eastham Lock, the biggest on the canal before beginning our crossing of the notoriously dangerous tidal Mersey Estuary to Brunswick Dock and the Port of Liverpool.
Catch-up on every vlog, from the beginning, in order, as we explore Britain by Narrowboat:

I think it's pretty normal to get anxious in situations that you can't control. Many years back when I was on holiday with my mom, we planned on going on a flight with a small airplane on one of those tourist flights, and I got so anxious I didn't want to go. But since I also didn't want to admit it, I convinced my mom to have a car free vacation (other than getting there and back obviously) and since that was the only thing we would have needed the car for we ended up not doing it. In hindsight I kinda regret not doing it as that is an opportunity that you don't have that often. I also think that this anxiety due to not being in control is why some people make horrible car passengers when they are used to driving the car themselves. Loved the vlog as always, especially seeing those big ships from your perspective and how big the river looked.

Perhaps one day, this Fairy will cross the Mersey! I knew the song as a teenager when I worked in radio. Having grown up in the US (and back then Google was not even a flicker in one's eye), I had NO idea of the reference. So glad to see you boys making your journey - may it have no end!

I love the shots of Silver Fox’s bow, low on the water, fabulous, like a Viking raid. Thank you so, so much for a sterling film.

This was a very enjoyable video. Again showing us sights not seen from rail or roadways. It's fun to see your part of the world. Colin I got a little concerned you work yourself up into a lather and stressing yourself out over the what ifs and things you had no control over. Yes I know it's part of who you are. I was relieved when you had a good crossing and you relaxed to enjoy the crossing of the river, as you shared bits of the history of the area. I reminded myself I've had vastly different experiences while working on the water, so what no big deal to me would have you in a panic. So there is no judgement call. I'm not sure if it is the editing but you do seem to be more comfortable in "open water" than you have been in the past. I'm guessing as your boating experiences have grown you are relaxing as as things change. Keep on moving forward in life and enjoy what life beings your way... good grief I'm 64 next week... how did I make it this far? ;-) safe journey to you both.

Colin, Shaun...OMG crossing the Mersey. I grew up in Liverpool, and crossed the River 1000's times on the Mersey Ferry and the IOM Boats over the years. The Mersey can be as rough as the open sea. I needed a drink to settle my nerves prior to watching you both on your latest great adventure, and goodness what an adventure. I loved this Vlog, and it will have many viewings. Beautiful weather too. Loved how you explained your preparation, and that you had a pilot on board and why he was there. You said it was one of the lower of the high tides. Had it been a spring tide of 30-32ft Silver Fox would have been worked really hard. A very well produced, edited and directed Vlog. Did Otis stay inside all of the time, as you couldn't risk him going for a swim? It was interesting that around the centre of the River it suddenly got a bit choppy, and again you explained why this was so. Liverpool is Brilliant.You guys and the pilot were brillant too. Loved it, Loved it, Loved it. Fantastic Vlog. Thank you so much. Take care.

I'll bet he's got lots of stories to tell and would have a perspective on certain histories that no one else would know... !

Lots of good memories in this one! We went over to visit my son and daughter-in-law who live in Jericho/Oxford in 2019. My son and I are huge Beatles fans and we had to go to Liverpool. Unfortunately when we were there it was very blustery with wind and rain and the Mersey was very choppy (I had to play “Ferry cross the Mersey” when I seen it on my ITunes), but we still walked all around the Salt and Albert docks. Did all the museums there, seen the Liver Building etc. Colin I was getting excited and nervous when seeing the waterfront as you approached. Nice to see it again. Can’t wait to travel there again when it is safe to do so.. Thanks again RIck

That was amazing. Thanks for the ride!!! Good to see Fran and Rich as well. Stuart was fabulous. Are you planning to see the wizard while in Liverpool? I don't think Judy Garland will be there, but I hear the Wizard is a nice fellow. Xoxo

wow , that was alot of organizing , just to take foxy on the mersey , it actually looked quite frightening seeing you sat on the roof lol , especially when it got abit choppy , gulp , but it did'nt seem quite as bad as the thames , that was really frightening , especially in a flat bottomed boat .

Just remembered. where did all the hammer head cranes go from Cammel Lairds, I suppose getting rid of them and putting ship building in a shed is progress. But what a sky line that was.

Another fantastic video. Great information and oh my word, it was amazing to see how small Silver Fox looked on the Mersey. As I’m sure you know, Terry and Monica Darlington crossed the channel on their narrow boat. Are you up for that?!!

As always another great video guys! Really wish I could be on a narrowboat cruising down the canals! Maybe next year will be the year that I'll do it! My big question if I were to misteriously plan my trip to cross your path we could wave on the way past each other😂 anyways I'll see what comes and goes next year! Weather or not I meet you two or nobody it will defo be something to have a nice time on the waters!
